Until now, biographies of individuals who lived in the late Ming and early Qing periods have been either in-depth studies of important intellectuals or portraits sketched from the historical record and amplified by the imaginations of present-day authors. This book is the first to provide actual comment from a variety of people in different social stations. Some of the documents made accessible to Western readers are little known even to Chinese scholars. The book also breaks new ground by offering examples of the diversity in Chinese historical writing: rustic histories, tendentious reports, self-serving memoirs, family letters, official memorials, and other forms of records. Together these translations provide evidence of the increasing articulateness about personal experience that characterized writing in late Ming times. Bookseller Inventory # AAV9780300075533

Book Description LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, 2011. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Aufl.. Language: English . Brand New Book. The years 1956 to 1965 presented a very defining moment in post World War II British theatre history. They produced a wave of an experimental theatre that gave rise to some of the most memorable playwrights in modern British drama, like John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Harold Pinter and John Arden (the so-called Angry Young Men). Wole Soyinka was one of The Angry Young Men ! In the late 1950s, Wole Soyinka, participated actively in the activities of the Royal Court Theatre as a script reader, writer and performer. This book particularly displays diverse voices of this African writer in the nascent stages of his development from his undergraduate years to England and back in Nigeria as practising artist. The focus is on Soyinka s lesser known works which are presented as the critical seed-bed for the art that has been celebrated in the Nobel Laureate for Literature.
